Quick Design Checklist
As with any power supply design, all LinkSwitch designs should
be verified on the bench to make sure that component
specifications are not exceeded under worst case conditions.
Note: In a LinkSwitch circuit, the SOURCE is a switching node.
This should be taken into consideration during testing.
Oscilloscope measurements should be made with probe
grounded to DC voltages such as primary return or DC rail but
not to SOURCE. Power supply input voltage should always be
supplied using an isolation transformer. The following minimum
set of tests is strongly recommended:
1. Maximum drain voltage – Verify that V
2. Maximum drain current – At maximum ambient temperature,

maximum input voltage and peak output power, verify drain
current waveforms at start-up for any signs of transformer
saturation and excessive leading edge current spikes.
LinkSwitch has a minimum leading edge blanking time of
200 ns to prevent premature termination of the on-cycle.
Verify that the leading edge current spike event is below
current limit at the end of the 200 ns blanking period.

between low and high line, verify that the peak power point
occurs at the desired nominal output current, with the correct
output voltage. If this does not occur then the design should
be refined to ensure the overall tolerance limits are met.
